    Multiple Outputs: Banana

    The function edit dialog in Node-RED allows functions to have multiple outputs, returning an array of messages. This makes it possible for a function to send different messages to each output depending on conditions, such as sending messages on a specific topic to the second output instead of the first. Functions can also return the original message on one output while transforming the message sent to the other output, such as sending the original message to one output while sending a message with the payload length to the second output.

    Multiple Outputs

    The function edit dialog allows the number of outputs to be changed. If there is more
    than one output, an array of messages can be returned by the function to send to the
    outputs.

    This makes it easy to write a function that sends the message to different outputs
    depending on some condition. For example, this function would send anything on
    topic banana to the second output rather than the first:

    if (msg.topic === "banana") {


    return [ null, msg ];
    } else {
    return [ msg, null ];
    }

    The following example passes the original message as-is on the first output and a
    message containing the payload length is passed to the second output:

    var newMsg = { payload: msg.payload.length };


    return [msg, newMsg];
